Rhenium represents an irreplaceable metal resource, which finds extensive applications in diverse fields, particularly in the aerospace and petrochemical industry. However, its remarkably low natural abundance and the lack of independent ore deposits pose significant challenges to its extraction and recovery processes. In this study, we present the highly efficient adsorption of perrhenate by a cationic polymeric nanotrap material, namely CPN-3VIm. The maximum adsorption capacity of CPN-3VIm-Cl for ReO4- attains an impressive value of 1220 mg·g-1. Notably, even in the low-concentration ReO4- solution of 8.5 ppm, the removal rate could still exceed 99%. The recycling performance of CPN-3VIm-Cl also shows exceptional results, with both ReO4- removal and recovery rates surpassing 90% throughout five adsorption-desorption cycles. Furthermore, CPN-3VIm-Cl exhibits nearly 100% extraction efficiency for ReO4- within a broad pH range of 4-10 and demonstrates remarkable structural stability under extreme conditions, such as 3M sulfuric acid or 3M nitric acid. Additionally, a comprehensive investigation into the interaction mechanism between CPN-3VIm-Cl and perrhenate was carried out using SEM-EDS mapping, Raman, FT-IR, and XPS analysis.

Orthogonal self-assembly represents a useful methodology to construct supramolecular polymers with AA- and AB-type monomers, as commonly used for covalently linked polymers. So far, the design of such monomers has relied heavily on three-dimensional macrocycles, and the use of two-dimensional shape-persistent macrocycles for this purpose remains rather rare. Here, we demonstrate a dimerization motif based on a hydrogen-bonded macrocycle that can be effectively applied to form orthogonal supramolecular polymers.

Solid-state synthesis is an approach to organic synthesis that is desirable because it can offer minimal or no solvent waste, high yields, and relatively low energy footprints. Herein, we report the solid-state synthesis of a novel Schiff base, 4-{()-[(4-methylpyridin-3-yl)imino]methyl}benzoic acid (), synthesized through the reaction of an amine and an aldehyde. was prepared via solvent-drop (water) grinding (SDG) on a multigram scale with 97% yield and was characterized using FTIR, H NMR, and SCXRD.

The effectiveness of metallocene catalysts in the cationic ring-opening polymerization (cationic ROP) of ε-caprolactone (CL) is influenced by the choice of metallocene/borate systems, particularly their bulkiness. Recent research examines this effect on the initiation and propagation stages of cationic ROP. We conducted a density functional theory study on the precatalyst activation of cationic CL ROP by zirconocene/borate catalysts, where four models of zirconocene precatalysts (CpZrMe (), (MeCp)CpZrMe (), (MeCp)ZrMe (), and IndZrMe ()) were combined with boron cocatalysts B(CF) and [X][B(CF) ] (X = PhC or PhMeNH).

This work utilized a combination of photocatalytic organic semiconductors and bacteria to create a photocatalytic organic semiconductor-bacterial biomixture system based on a bacteria imprinted polymers (OBBIPs-PEC) sensor, for the detection of with high sensitivity in "turn-on" mode at the single-cell level. This outstanding sensor arises from an integration of two different types of semiconductor materials to form heterojunctions. As well this sensor involves combining a semiconductor material with cationic side chains and an electron transport chain within a natural cellular environment, in which the cationic side chain of poly(fluorene--phenylene) organic semiconductor at 2-(4-mesyl-2-nitrobenzoyl)-1,3-cyclohexanedione (PFP-OC@MNC) demonstrated the ability to penetrate the cell membrane of and interact with specific binding sites through electrostatic interactions.
